I was Ed's secretary at CFS Continental in 1983.  We were just months apart in age but he always seemed more mature. He was polite and soft spoken and I was very happy to come to work each day. Never judgmental, he made everyone feel valued. God bless you Ed.  I just learned you passed away many years ago.  May your light shine on Mr. Wasser.  You were the best!

I was looking for people I went to U of O with.  Ed was very special to me.  I knew him just before he went to Vietnam. I am so sorry for your loss.  I will always remember him fondly.

After working many years with Ed, like all of us that had, there is hardly a day goes by where I don't reflect at wisdom, personal or professional he imparted.

I was pleased after having not seen Ed for several years to run into him with the group I played golf with in Seattle at Jefferson Park.  Parkinsons was beginning to take it's toll but he still walked the course each day he played.  We were bantering a bit on one of our rounds and I threw a wager for a buck on one of the holes.  I beat him but as Ed will do he looked at me and pressed the bet.  After he whomped me on the next hole he took my money and looked at me with the "Ed" grin and told me "it was nice doing business with you"  I like many loved this man and have incredibly fond memories of him.  Peace Ed.

Ed was a friend of mine.  I think of him often with very fond memories.

 I worked for Ed for a very short time, but came to know and respect him for the gentleman that he is.  Ed was able to command respect and attention without ever raising his voice and his professional bearing was always apparent.  Strong and gentile, he gave more than he got back from life, I think, and I hope God graces him with the rewards he deserves now that he is at rest.

Ed was a true gentlemen and I am honored to have had the opportunity to work for him at CFS/Sysco.  My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Somewhere,on a summer day that never ends, a group of boys are still marking off bases on the grass at Reed, choosing up sides and playing by their own rules. It was a privilege to have known Ed.

I had the priviledge of working with Ed in Seattle while he was president of Sysco.  He was kind, smart, hard-working and a true gentleman.  A terrific golfer too!!

When I first began my managment career Ed was my boss. I was just a kid and rough all over but Ed took the time and gave me the freedom to learn and make mistakes and learn from them without having to worry about any fall out. Ed was a true professional which is unique as was Ed. God Bless you Ed Wasser.

  I had the pleasure of working very closely with Ed when CFS Continental acquired Garden Products, the company I was working for in the 1980's. I learned first hand what an inspiring and honest professional he was during this challenging period that affected many peoples careers and lives! I was honored to accept a position working directly for Ed and even more honored to have known Ed for the gentleman he was. Ed and his family are in my family's hearts and prayers.

I had the pleasure of working with Ed while he was the President of Sysco Seattle.  He was honest, dedicated and loyal.

I enyoyed playing golf and tennis with him.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Ed was the driving force in my beginning years at CFS & Sysco. He believed in me. He will be missed & remembered. GO DUCKS!!!

"Easy Ed" was a great Beta brother during college. I am sorry to miss the gathering at Eastmoreland, but send my condolences to his family and friends.

We were friends in grade school at Duniway, and high school at Cleveland.  We played sports together and against one another.  Ed was a fierce competitor, a terrific athlete, and a good friend.  My sympathies to his family and many friends.

I was fortunate enough to work with Ed for many years at CFS and Sysco. He helped start many of us "sales guys" on to long successful careers in the food business. I kept in touch with him when he moved back to Portland and enjoyed our time together. My condolences to all the family.  He will be missed but always remembered.

Being in the food service business on the supply side I got to know Ed when he was with CFS and Sysco in Portland.  Ed was always professional, dedicated, positive, and a honest man to work with.  There are only a few people who inspired me professionally during my career and Ed was one of these individuals.  We will all have fond memories forever.  My best wishes for Ed's friends and family.

Thoughts and prayers are with you all.  Ed will be missed!

It was such a joy to become reacquainted with Ed a few years ago when he moved back to Portland.  My memories from childhood on up to the present are of a kind and thoughtful man.  He has been in my thoughts and prayers since he moved back to Seattle.  He will be missed, especially by the old Duniway gang.  Fondly, Carol Boyd Juckeland
